Have the spin moves to the basket toned down a bit? And can people still easily steal on inbounds still?

Ok im going to try and give a comlpetely honest, unbiased opinion on the game. A lot of people on this board just go crazy dissing the game and go crazy defedning it... There doesent seem to be much of a middle ground.
Let me give it a shot.
PS. I Bought both Live and 2k7 for current gen and have played them both the same amount and like them both the same for diff reasons so there are no bias here
System: XBOX CURRENT GEN
Graphics wise it looks pretty much the same as last year, maybe some slight improvements. The Menu/Presentation is really nice (Way better than 2k7 presentation) And the announcers seem to really do a good job much improved from last year. One of the biggest edges that live has on 2k is the announcers, i really enjoy their commentary during the game especially this year.
The freestyle moves are really hard to get a hang of... Im having a very hard time with them so far, its not the same as last year where u just push a button and vualla... Seems there is a lot more timing and situational factors involved. The X-Factor stuff i think is really cool and i really enjoy being able to have little goals like unlocking a players special abilities by getting him hot. Thats super fun - Also, your xfactor player changes from game to game... One game my xfactor was Channing Frye with inside scoring, the next it was Jamal Crawford with Playmaker.. That is very cool from game to game you get to have diff players to try and get hot.
The defense is probobly my biggest problem, It seems as if players slide around the court even more than usual and on defense the opposing Point Gaurd seems to just slip by me virtually every time even when im directly in front of him. This may just take some getting used to but the feel of the defense so far is very strange.
Rebounding has gotten a LOT better.
Wish there were sig animations.
Havent started a franchise mode yet but i will soon,
Cool how they have rivalries between teams also i love that, not sure exactly how it works yet but i like the idea.. I Played nets vs. knicks which was a rivalry and it seemed the crowd/players were very into it from the start but i got blown out lol
I LOVE the layup/dunk button, its sooooo nice to be able to choose between a layup and a dunk.. Wonderful. VERY PISSED That they removed last man back passing... But this has already been discussed. Anyways these are my initial impressions.
People seem to be killing me on everything i post, so im interested to hear the critique of this one! lol, later

In the 2 days I've been playing, I can say the spin moves have been toned down quite a bit, and the inbound stealing isn't nearly the problem it was with default sliders last year.
